The Great Gatsby

THAT Twenties fashion bug has been gently simmering ever since we learnt that The Great Gatsby - that legendary jazz-age tale by F. Scott Fitzgerald - was to get a Baz Luhrmann makeover, complete with Carey Mulligan as Miss Daisy Buchanan. So, to get you in the mood and up to speed with what is going to be one of the year's most popular fashion decades, we've stepped back in time to bring you our Twenties take.

MARC BY MARC JACOBS - A clutch bag worn in the day always gives a nod to a time when clothes and fashion had a real sense of elegance, and practicality wasn’t the primary concern. You just need the cloche and the T-bar shoes to go with this number. £250, www.my-wardrobe.com</a>.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN - We know this is really a shopping page dedicated to the The Great Gatsby - and, as such, Daisy Buchanan is more the sartorial heroine we have on the brain - but this dress screams Thoroughly Modern Millie. Another reason to fall in love with the fashion of the Twenties then. £1,565, www.net-a-porter.com.

GUCCI - Aside from Baz Luhrmann’s remake of the iconic film putting the era back on the map, it was Gucci that spearheaded a Twenties fashion romance on the catwalk. There was a slightly more futuristic feel to it – think lots of metallic to show off your fashion worth. These will definitely do that job. £585, www.net-a-porter.com</a>.

ONE VINTAGE - This dress has just the right amount of Art Deco-ness to it, while still feeling contemporary too. Pull hair back tight into a low bun and add a bright red lip for your new take on the Flapper favourite. £2,015, www.net-a-porter.com.

MARC JACOBS - Here’s a tip for those who are left wondering what exactly Great Gatsby fashion entails: dropped waists are an easy way to nod to the Twenties decade and here, Marc Jacobs, does it in such an easy and wearable way. £930, www.net-a-porter.com.

ROBERTO CAVALLI - For us, this dress fits the bill. It’s glamorous and elegant and has all the right Twenties architecturally-informed lines going on. Make sure you have a boyish crop to go with (don’t worry, you can fake one with hair pins), and some smouldering eye make-up. £6,800, www.net-a-porter.com</a>.

ANTON HEUNIS - The roaring Twenties were all about showing off, really, and this ring gives quite the lesson in how to do that. It really could take someone’s eye out, so be careful – please. £87, www.my-wardrobe.com.

J S LEE - Another way to note what will work for this bracket of fashion – sports styles. The Twenties was underpinned by a new sense of minimalism and so plunging Vs on jumpers and dresses – but with a panel still beneath – make for the required androgynous look. £266, www.jsleelondon.com.
